INTRODUCTION

Pyrgotidae is a small family of Tephritoidea (Diptera) with worldwide distribution (Kim & Han, 2009Kim, S.K. & Han, H.Y. 2009. Taxonomic review of the Korean Pyrgotidae (Insecta: Diptera: Tephritoidea). Korean Journal of Systematic Zoology, 25(1): 65-80. 10.5635/KJSZ.2009.25.1.065
https://doi.org/10.5635/KJSZ.2009.25.1.0... ). The family is composed by ca. 365 species in about 55 genera (Korneyev, 2006Korneyev, V. 2006. A revision of Afrotropical species of the Eupyrgota (Diptera, Pyrgotidae): the spinifemur group and latipennis subgroup of species. Vestnik Zoologii, 40: 3-25. http://www.v-zool.kiev.ua/pdfs/2006/2/02_Korneyev.pdf.
http://www.v-zool.kiev.ua/pdfs/2006/2/02... ). According to Mello & Lamas (2016Mello, R.L. & Lamas, C.J.E. 2016. Family Pyrgotidae. Zootaxa, 4122(1): 582-584.), the Neotropical fauna of Pyrgotidae is represented by 59 species in 13 genera. Among the Neotropical genera, Leptopyrgota Hendel is the most diverse with 33 species (Steyskal, 1967Steyskal, G.C. 1967. 56. Family Pyrgotidae. In: Papavero, N. (Ed.). A catalogue of the Diptera of the America South of the United States. São Paulo, Secreta da Agricultura, Departamento de Zoologia. p. 1-8.; Bernardi, 1991Bernardi, N. 1991. Notas sobre o gênero Leptopyrgota Hendel, com descrição de vinte e uma novas espécies do Brasil (Diptera, Pyrgotidae). Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 7(3): 327-350.).

The family is divided into the subfamilies Pyrgotinae and Teretrurinae (McAlpine, 1990McAlpine, D.K. 1990. The taxonomic position of the Ctenostylidae (= Lochmostylinae; Diptera: Schizophora). Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 84 (Suppl. 4): 365-371, 1989.). Pyrgotinae, the most specious subfamily, has a worldwide distribution and is composed by the tribes Prodalmanniini, Pyrgotini, Toxopyrgotini, and Toxurini (Korneyev, 2016Korneyev, V. 2016. New taxa and synonymy in the family Pyrgotidae (Diptera, Tephritoidea). I. Tribes Prodalmanniini and Toxopyrgotini. Vestnik Zoologii, 50: 39-48. 10.1515/vzoo-2016-0005
https://doi.org/10.1515/vzoo-2016-0005... ). Teretrurinae, composed by 11 species in five genera, has a distribution restricted to South America and Oceania. The South American fauna of Teretrurinae is composed by the genera Pyrgotosoma Malloch and Teretrura Bigot.

South American Teretrurinae are restricted to Argentina and Chile (Steyskal, 1967Steyskal, G.C. 1967. 56. Family Pyrgotidae. In: Papavero, N. (Ed.). A catalogue of the Diptera of the America South of the United States. São Paulo, Secreta da Agricultura, Departamento de Zoologia. p. 1-8.), and the Chilean Pyrgotidae fauna is represented exclusively by the Teretrurinae. These flies can be easily recognized from other Pyrgotidae by the following combination of characters: ocelli present (absent in most Pyrgotinae); postpedicel rounded at apex; Sc reaching C at acute angle; R4+5 bare dorsally; sternite 1 well developed, sclerotized and separated from sternite 2; and epandrium setulose (Aczél, 1956aAczél, M. 1956a. Revisión partial de las Pyrgotidae neotropicales y antárticas con sinopsisde los géneros y especies (Diptera, Acalyptratae). Parte I. Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 4: 161-184., bAczél, M. 1956b. Revisión partial de las Pyrgotidae neotropicales y antárticas con sinopsis de los géneros y especies (Diptera, Acalyptratae). Parte II. Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 5: 1-70.; McAlpine, 1973McAlpine, D.K. 1973. The Australian Platystomatidae (Diptera, Schizophora) with a revision of five genera. Australian Museum Memoir, 15: 1-256., 1990; Korneyev, 2004Korneyev, V. 2004. Genera of Palaearctic Pyrgotidae (Diptera, Acalyptrata), with nomenclatural notes and a key. Vestnik Zoologii, 38: 19-46.).

The immature stages of Pyrgotinae are internal abdominal parasites of adult Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera), and the adults are nocturnal (Mello, 2017Mello, R.L. 2017. Lista das espécies de Pyrgotidae (Diptera, Tephritoidea) do Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. Iheringia, Série Zoologia, 107(supl.): 1-2, e2017145. 10.1590/1678-4766e2017145
https://doi.org/10.1590/1678-4766e201714... ). The only known biological record for a South American pyrgotid was presented by Mello et al. (2010Mello, R.L.; Lamas, C.J.E. & Rafael, J.A. 2010. Revision of the Neotropical genus Carrerapyrgota Aczél (Diptera, Pyrgotidae) with the description of two new species. Zootaxa, 2515: 45-64.) for the species Carreapyrgota bernardiiMello, Lamas & Rafael, 2010Mello, R.L.; Lamas, C.J.E. & Rafael, J.A. 2010. Revision of the Neotropical genus Carrerapyrgota Aczél (Diptera, Pyrgotidae) with the description of two new species. Zootaxa, 2515: 45-64. flying in association with the scarab beetle Pelidnota sordida (Germar, 1824). The South American Teretrurinae are also likely to be nocturnal, given their often being collected in light traps as indicated on their specimens labels.

The Neotropical fauna of Pyrgotidae was catalogued by Stuardo (1946Stuardo, C. 1946. Catálogo de los dípteros de Chile. Santiago del Chile, Ministerio de Agricultura, Impresiones Universitaria. 250p., as Otitidae), and Steyskal (1967Steyskal, G.C. 1967. 56. Family Pyrgotidae. In: Papavero, N. (Ed.). A catalogue of the Diptera of the America South of the United States. São Paulo, Secreta da Agricultura, Departamento de Zoologia. p. 1-8.), including the Chilean species. Studies of the species from southern South America are scarce (Malloch, 1933Malloch, J.R. 1933. Acalyptrata (Helomyzidae, Trypetidae, Sciomyzidae, Sapromyzidae, etc.). Diptera of Patagonia and South Chile. London, The British Museum (Natural History). Part 6, Fascicle 4, 248-254, Plates I-VII). The aim of this paper is to provide an updated catalogue of species of Chile with details of the taxonomic records.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Distributions are cited for each species based on published records and new records of specimens in the collection of Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Chile and from the database of specimens in the Canadian National Collection. Chilean distribution is presented by region (from north to south), province (from north to south) and locality (arranged alphabetically). Since there are important vegetation and orographic differences in each province of the country, details of each collection record are provided. This catalogue follows the generic classification of Aczél (1956aAczél, M. 1956a. Revisión partial de las Pyrgotidae neotropicales y antárticas con sinopsisde los géneros y especies (Diptera, Acalyptratae). Parte I. Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 4: 161-184., bAczél, M. 1956b.

DISCUSSION

The diversity of Pyrgotidae in Chile is low compared with other countries of South America (Steyskal, 1967Steyskal, G.C. 1967. 56. Family Pyrgotidae. In: Papavero, N. (Ed.). A catalogue of the Diptera of the America South of the United States. São Paulo, Secreta da Agricultura, Departamento de Zoologia. p. 1-8.; Mello, 2014Mello, R.L. 2014. Pyrgotidae. In: Roig-Juñent, S.; Claps, L.E. & Morrone, J.J. (Eds.). Biodiversidad de artrópodos argentinos. San Miguel de Tucumán, Editorial INSUE-UNT. v. 4, p. 499-503.). Finally, in this catalogue we recognize three species of Pyrgotidae in two genera and one subfamily for Chile. The genus Teretrura Bigot is the most species-richest with two species.
